EA opposes US Defence of Marriage Act

"DOMA presents a number of problems for businesses like EA."

Electronic Arts is the latest company to join an alliance of US businesses opposed to country's Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA).

DOMA is a federal law which defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

EA is the latest company that believes the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals should find certain chunks of the Act unconstitutional.

"DOMA presents a number of problems for businesses like EA, as it creates regulatory, tax, and discrimination complications for employers, and that's why we're standing against it. The underlying lawsuit impacts all employers no matter how big or small, and no matter the industry, and we encourage other business to join these efforts," wrote EA on its website.
